1. This Website Is Not a Secure Medical Portal

The CareOne Solutions website is a business informational and inquiry platform — it is not a HIPAA-compliant patient portal, electronic health record system, or secure clinical communication channel. Do not submit any Protected Health Information (PHI) through any form, message, or field on this website.

PHI includes, but is not limited to: patient names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, medical record numbers, health plan identifiers, diagnosis or treatment information, prescription data, or any data that could reasonably identify an individual patient.

2. Role of CareOne Solutions Under HIPAA

CareOne Solutions is a healthcare operations and clinical research consulting firm. In that capacity, we may function as a Business Associate under HIPAA when engaged by covered entities (such as physician practices or clinical research sites) that require us to access, handle, or process PHI as part of a formal service agreement.

However, this website is not part of any such engagement. Any interaction through this website — including contact form submissions — does not establish a Business Associate relationship and is not covered by a Business Associate Agreement (BAA).

3. Business Associate Agreements (BAAs)

When a consulting engagement with CareOne Solutions requires access to PHI under applicable law, a fully executed Business Associate Agreement will be established in advance and in writing. All handling of PHI in those contexts will occur through secure, HIPAA-compliant channels agreed upon by both parties — never through this public-facing website.

4. Clinical Research & HIPAA Considerations

For physician practices engaged in clinical research, HIPAA compliance intersects with FDA regulations, ICH-GCP guidelines, and IRB requirements. CareOne Solutions provides operational consulting to help research sites understand these overlapping frameworks. Our support does not replace legal counsel or independent regulatory review. We strongly encourage all clients to work with qualified legal and compliance professionals when establishing or updating HIPAA policies and procedures.

5. Reporting Concerns

If you believe PHI may have been inadvertently submitted through this website, please contact us immediately through our Contact page so we can take appropriate action. We take all potential privacy incidents seriously and will respond promptly.
